oslled from the impscuniasity Of its
inhabitants, a misfortune that ii hg
u'ss are to be relied u pom, has today
left that trait upon its soaring and
amblilus neighbor. The figures a.
ID led to ara those Of a s.. Louis ex.
Oty Auditor, who has been comparing
the past wealth Of "ihe future great"
with that Of the present time. The
figures declare that the assessment on
the personal property OF the citiEans
Of st, Louis shows the possession OF
le5s mount Of personal property today
than was owned there in 1870. This is
asad acc lunt In place that in 1870 was
claiming to be "ihe future great" and
claimed il holder still when 1t thought
that. while Memphis was Frustrated
by epidemic, 1t could appropriate to
itself the cotton trade of Memphis.
Population has increased, ye. the per
sonal ropsrty Of the citizens has de-
creased, and in sixteen years "the
future great has become poorer. Ac-
coidiug to returns made to the as
SCISSORS under oath, the decrease of
personal properly during those years
has been 100000. This is astound-
Ing, aud welkens to the point OF ex
tinction any expect 'tion that st. Louis
ever will bs great 10 the future. There
are dstrAotors of the inhabitants Of
that fne city, that do not hesitate to
say that owners Of personal property

make OF their personal effects, CO avert

"the future great" st. Louis naturally
desires TO make show there that

Loaisiana's Salt Works.

But the easiest mcthosl Of salt prsIuc-
ton is undoubtedly that at Petit nse. in
Louisiana. There is an immense body OF
pure rock salt that Is mined Just like iron
or coal. The miners run drifts and
levels. blast out the salt, put il on cars,
hoist il 10 the surface, pass il through a
rock breaker and thence into a series Of
mills, where IL is ground TO any degree
Of fneness desired and at once barreled.
In ten minutes after a a load II that
pure rock reaches the surface 1t is ground
and barreled ready for market.
The Louisiana salt mine was discovered
In 1862 on the plantation Of q planter
named Avery. II has been worked on a
large scale for about seven years, the
Avery family receiving from the Amer
lean Salt company a royalty OF $4,000 a
year. This mine is one Of the heavy salt
producers Of the country. and the deposit
seems inexhaustible. Visitors 10 the

let them fall again almost instantly, and
said:
II have no need of you! May God
grant that you never feel the need of
me!'
And for the last time in his life he
passed the threshold Of his fathers
house.
Four weeks later he was a soldier. Six
months later he was on guard in a mar
